If I'm missing, let Polo Ralph Lauren be the first place you look to find me. This new flagship store on Regent Street is, well, it's home. One step inside the store and you'll feel as if you've walked straight out of London and right into a Manhattan masterpiece. Yes, the Polo Ralph Lauren store delivers on the dream that is Ralph Lauren. You may remember Ralph Lauren was once quoted as saying, "I don't design clothes, I design dreams." Well, if ever there were a shining example of just how real that statement was, it's found here, now, in London. Ralph Lauren has created a world in which everyone wants to play a part and the Polo Ralph Lauren Regent Street setup is just another chapter in that book of classic American life.
Last week, I found myself wondering the halls of the massive...

Style Update: Swanning through life
Every single morning, believe it or not, I'm the woman screaming at her closet saying "I have nothing to wear." No really, I realize the irony in this situation. I'm supposed to be the style advisor here, the person putting together that outfit of outfits. But, in all honesty, the struggle is real and it's real for every single one of us. I imagine even Anna Wintour, although she'll never admit it, probably greets her closet doors with silent frustration in the morning. But then, as I'm sure you all know, you have a day where it all just comes together. You reach for that skirt you love, the shirt you know brings out the happiness in your skin tone and the shoes that give you a certain strut. They all come together and work in such sweet harmony that you're pretty sure you've somehow just...

The ASOS eight edit: Autumnal Style
So here's the dealio. Over the past couple of weeks I have heard from a number of people that they are always seeing amazing ASOS pieces in my collection but never have time to keep up with the constant level of new product being added to the ASOS site on a daily basis. Eureka... an idea is born! Over the next few months I'll be putting together a weekly edit of ASOS new arrivals in the hopes of sharing the great opportunities for growing your closet in the way I have over the past few years. It's true that there are endless finds on this site, and my job is going to be making sure you don't miss any that could be potentially detrimental down the line. There's nothing worse than asking "where did you get that adorable tee?" and having someone answer "oh, grabbed it last month on ASOS." Chances...

FFG Eats: Dominque Ansel opens bakery in London!
The first time I heard the name Dominique Ansel was over the phone, in conversation with a friend living in Manhattan. She was telling me about her $200 pastry experience. Her words: "I can't look at myself in the mirror right now. I spent $200 on a Cronut." Now, these were the days before news of the famous Cronut has reached London's shores. I wasn't yet familiar with its inventor, Dominique Ansel, and I certainly wasn't aware that lines were stretching through New York City that had people queuing for up to four hours to get their hands on the famous bakery item. Let me be clear, the Cronut itself wasn't priced at $200 - nowhere near, as Dominque Ansel's prices aren't far from normal bakery prices. My friend, who freely admits she is eccentric and insane, paid her assistant's roommate...

Style Update: The baggy and bag combo
If you haven't been into Fenwick of Bond Street in a while, may I recommend staying away if you have a problem with uncontrollable spending? Here I was just popping in for a visit and a coffee and I walk out having met my mastercard match in a Nehera oversized coat (obsessed with this brand) and a Onesixone bag. This is the magic of the Fenwick edit - you are introduced to pieces and brands you'd never otherwise know. That's why I can't possibly cross over into this fashion palace before the start of a new financial month. I'd be the most stylish woman living in my local gutter if I planned it any other way.
On a serious note, and I am going to preach here for a moment. I feel a little overly passionate about Fenwick's, and a bit scared to share the secret of this style haven far...

One to watch: Stella Jean x Marina Rinaldi
I've been following the path of fashion designer Stella Jean since she was first spotlighted by Vogue in 2011. I'm not alone. Stella Jean has risen to a level of fame that has many predicting a bright and long future ahead in this industry. Knowing this, you'll find it easy to imagine that I nearly lost the power of speech when Marina Rinaldi whispered a little secret in my ear... a collaboration was emerging!
On Friday, this collaboration was released for public consumption during Milan Fashion Week. Twenty models filled the first floor of a renovated location in Milan and showcased what will surely be one of the most in demand collections come spring summer arrivals. And, in true Marina Rinaldi style, the presentation was both an honoring of their designer collaboration and the cultural...
